FY20 Commodities Outlook

FY20 Guidance

Notes

1) Wet metric tonnes for 100% of project output.2) MRL has assumed a AUD:USD foreign exchange rate of 0.680 in estimating Profit Share Commodity Project operating costs. 3) $3/wmt increase in mine gate costs as the mine deepens; $7/wmt increase in freight, port and royalty costs from macro issues (FX and commodity prices).

• The partial sale of Wodgina has released US$820 million for

reinvestment

• MRL has subsequently allocated additional capital to reduce

the cost of iron ore operations in the Yilgarn region, and to

expand that business to a life of over 10 years

• Investment in the Yilgarn includes a new crusher at

Koolyanobbing, a stacker, bucketwheel reclaimer,

automatic train loader and haul roads

• Expenditure of $50 million is required to maintain operations

at Iron Valley until March 2021

• MRL also expects to spend up to $20 million in stages on

drilling and feasibility work on iron ore in the Pilbara

• MRL is evaluating a number of investment opportunities to

underpin expansionary activities and these would be

additional to current plans

Capability and track record

• 26 year heritage has created a strong culture of accountability and focus on

detail

• Strong, proven track record in identifying investment opportunities and

generating outstanding returns from them

• In-house expertise across the full project lifecycle, from exploration to sales

and shipping, allows us to evaluate opportunities accurately and quickly

Investment philosophy

• Every dollar spent is valued

• Target opportunities that allow us to utilise our expertise in mining services

and generate recurring earnings

• Focus is on opportunities that will be robust regardless of movements in

commodity prices

15

Investment philosophy

Koolyanobbing

• Focus is on production

increase to 11Mtpa run

rate by Q3 FY20

• Expected to produce and

export between [8]Mt

and [9]Mt, with 40%

lump product

• Average cost/tonne may

increase marginally on

FY19 due to external

equipment to support

expansion

Iron Valley

• Focus on maintaining

production as water &

quality issues increase

• Expected to produce and

export between [5.5]Mt

and [6.5]Mt, with 40%

lump product

• Average cost per tonne

expected to increase by

around [5]% on FY19 as

the mine deepens

Marillana

• 6 month test drilling

programme to further

optimise process design

• If successful, commence

approvals for mine site

construction

ProjectDevelopment

• Revised Albemarle transaction completed on 1 November 2019 and a joint venture was established:

• 60% Albemarle: 40% MRL

• MRL transferred 60% interest in Wodgina Lithium Project to Albemarle

• Albemarle transferred a cash payment of US$820 million

• MRL received 40% interest in first two 25Ktpa lithium hydroxide conversion units currently being built by Albemarle at its

Kemerton lithium hydroxide facility

Kemerton Hydroxide Facility

• Albemarle will fund the construct and commissioning of the Kemerton facility, estimated to cost $1.2 billion on a 100% basis

(US$480m for 40%):

• Where costs are less than US$1.2 billion, Albemarle will pay MRL 40% of the amount that is less than US$1.2 billion

• Where costs are more than US$1.2 billion, MRL will be free-carried for its 40% share

• Facility due for commissioning by Albemarle starting in first half of 2021

• At least 1 year ahead of previous plan to construct lithium hydroxide conversion plant on Wodgina site

17

Wodgina Lithium Transaction

• MARBL JV placed the Wodgina Lithium Project on care and

maintenance on 1 November 2019

• Transition to care and maintenance expected to take 4 weeks

• Decision made in recognition of challenging global lithium

market conditions and to preserve value of world-class

Wodgina orebody

• Cost of care and maintenance will not be material in FY20

• JV will regularly review market conditions with view to

resuming spodumene concentrate production as market

demand requires

• There is no doubt lithium will have a dominant role in the

energy storage business for years to come

18

Wodgina Lithium ProjectOperation

• Initially took over operation expecting 6Mtpa for 5 years

• Developing long life mine based on a production rate of 11Mtpa

• Current resource of 108Mt in region with 87Mt of measured indicated

resource

• Resources of 36.2Mt at Parker Range

• Exploration target – 30 to 83Mt at Mt Richardson under JORC

• From an initial rune rate of 6Mtpa at end of 2018; increased to 7.5Mtpa

by end June 2019; increasing to11Mtpa by early Q3 FY20

• 11Mtpa is underpinned with rail & port infrastructure

• In 2018, commend the McGowan Government to try and preserve 400

regional jobs and hundreds of indirect jobs

• By 2020 the project will directly employ 654 people across the mine, rail

& port

Yilgarn Tenement Portfolio

19

Iron Ore in the YilgarnKoolyanobbing

• 6,600 square kilometers of highly prospective acreage in

the Perth Basin

• Adjacent to 3 of the largest onshore conventional gas

discoveries within Australia in the last 5 years

• Red Gully conventional gas production facility on care

and maintenance – requires additional wells to bring

back on line

• In 2020 we are planning:

• 250 kilometres of seismic

• one conventional gas exploration well – 4.5km deep

• We aim to be self-sufficient in gas to provide energy

security, reduced reliance on diesel and lower carbon

emissions
